Tips & Variations

Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
Add sliced mushrooms or baby spinach for extra veggies.
Adjust lime juice and soy sauce to taste for your preferred balance of tang and saltiness.

Storage

Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through. Potstickers may absorb more liquid upon standing, so you can add a splash of broth when reheating if needed.
